Child protection at WABE
Every child should feel safe and secure in our facilities, grow up healthy and receive optimal support.
Child protection concept as a binding framework
There are binding rules, attitudes and measures. A behavioral traffic light and flyers are available in every facility. As a provider, it is important to us to regularly train employees and parents in the area of child protection.
Content of the child protection concept
- Security check: regular risk and resource analysis
- Consistent understanding: child protection terms and definitions
- Prevention: strengthening, protecting and supporting children
- Parental work: regular exchange on child protection as a basis
- Sex education: clear rules for appropriate body discovery
- Feedback and complaint management: serves transparency and quality assurance
- Legal requirements: compliance with the protection mandate according to §§ 8a and 72a SGB VIII
